My Writing Process

My writing process is always different depending on what I am writing on. The first thing I do is get out a paper and brainstorm a little. I do not like typing it out first, I prefer to write it out. The hardest thing about writing for me is making it longer. Once I am out of ideas it is hard for me to continue the writing. It is also hard for me to edit my own paper. A couple of things I am good are starting a paper, once I get an idea I am good about finishing the paper pretty fast. So the first thing I do is write a draft, after that I type it out usually changing a lot of things. Once I start typing I either change sentences or add things. After I finish typing out the essay I like to read it edit the format and then leave it alone for a while. I like to come back later and read it again checking for mistakes. Once I print it out I read it one last time before I turn it in. Every once in a while when the teacher wants a draft first and then gives back the first one I like to edit it to get as much points possible. I need to work on making my papers longer. When ever it is a 4-5 page essay and I have almost 4 pages it is hard to add once I am already done with the paper. This blog might help by allowing me to practice writing and maybe giving me ideas on papers by looking at other peoples writing.
